Happy Fathers Day..

Happy Fathers Day to my Dad and of course my Husband. Although it seems this year we will not be spending it together as a family. My husband left right early this morning to go and watch the Motor GP at Silverstone. Me, I am Demoing at the Cardmaking and Scrapbooking Fayre at Needham Market, with my downline Clare and my son has a cricket match.

Because Hubby is not around much today, we gave him his presents and card last night. Here is the card I made for DS to give. I thought it was a good idea to do it in England colours, Red, White and Blue, but after the way the team played on friday, perhaps it wasn't such a good idea. LOL

I have had this stamp set for ages, but not used it much, don't ask me why, because it is georgous. I decided to give it a bit of a grunge/antique look, and blended ink around the image before stamping the beautiful fern image. layering it onto black card made it pop. I decided to crack open the Sweet Pea Designer Paper that arrived a couple of days ago. There are so many beautiful papers in this stack, I had a hard job choosing which to use. I decided on one with Green, yellow and Turquoise colours in it.
